Just the other day I was encouraged to walk around the downtown Minneapolis area and shop the competitors of 7west! It was exciting to pose as a UMN student and see what other apartment communities were offering to prospects. This allowed me to see how 7west compares to other communities. […]

Today was the first day of our new Assistant Community Director. His name is Thomas. Andrew–our previous ACD–was promoted and transferred. Since Thomas joined us today, we enjoyed a great lunch from Five Guys! It was initially odd to be helping an associate in a higher position, but I learned […]

Weidner Cares Day was a blast! Although we worked astonishingly hard, it was for a great cause. We assisted a private group, who helps women transition from sex trafficking in Minneapolis. The entire Weidner Minnesota Region came to help! We were all divided into teams to help with a multitude […]

The last few weeks have become more and more busy, as we approach August. August is the busiest time of the year for 7west.

Today I completed my tenth tour by myself. Surprisingly–this coming weekend alone–I will be conducting five more tours! Our busy season is about to begin as prospects call and walk-in almost every day to secure an apartment. I have learned so much in this environment!

Today I was lucky enough to have coordinated two leasings, with the help my my team! I had been going back and forth with the former prospects, but finally (on the same day) both of them decided to sign their lease! This is such a momentous milestone in my career. […]
